CONFIRMED LINE-UP:

Davido: 

Undoubtedly one of the biggest Afrobeats artists to come out of Nigeria, singer Davido accredits much of his success to the support he has received in London calling it his “second home”. From ‘Dami Duro’ and ‘Aye’, to ‘Skelewu’ and ‘Gobe’, his list of anthems speak for his thriving global career. Davido is currently signed to Sony and has previously toured the UK as well as selling out concerts all around the world.

P-Square:

Sensational R&B duo, Peter and Paul Okoye have been championing African music across the globe for many years. Renowned for their energetic stage performances, breathtaking choreography and simply good music, London awaits the timeless hits from the twin brothers who have worked with the likes of Akon, T.I and Rick Ross. Their last song ‘Nobody Ugly’ hit 1 millions views with a week on Youtube

Tiwa Savage:

Newly signed to Jay Z’ s Roc Nation label, ‘Africa’ s Beyoncé’ returns to the One Africa Music Fest stage. Not a stranger to her doting UK fan base, this will be a long-awaited return to London. The singer rose to stardom following her X Factor UK stint which saw her make it to the Judges Houses back in 2006. 

Techno:

Popularly referred to as ‘The Golden Boy of African Music’, became a fan favourite following the release of his first single ‘Holiday’ featuring Davido back in 2013. He later went on to release hit singles ‘ Dance’ , ‘ Duro’ , ‘ Wash’  as well as ‘ Pana’  which dominated the airwaves internationally last year, propelling his career to new heights.
